Summary

In this episode, I’m speaking with nutrition expert Alex Leaf, someone you may remember from past episodes.

I’ve been lucky to work closely with Alex for the past few years—he’s a highly informed researcher and science writer, and he’s rare in the world of nutrition. He’s extremely scientifically literate and able to break through popular trends to provide practical and accurate interpretations of sometimes complicated research.

I’m really excited for you to hear our latest conversation…we cover a lot of ground, including what the research says about weight loss and calories in/calories out, low-carb versus low-fat diets, the best diet for fat loss, how a low-protein diet affects life span, and, one topic I know you won’t want to miss; Alex’s opinion on a recent publication showing that time-restricted eating leads to a much higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease…is this true?

To celebrate Alex’s appearance on the podcast, I’m offering The Fat Loss Blueprint for $200 off the regular price of $497. Alex and I collaborated on creating this program, and it’s an evidence-based, no gimmicks approach to very effective fat loss.

0:13.6	seventh time that you've been on here. Yeah. For those that are just tuning in who haven't seen
0:20.6	previous episodes with Alex, Alex works
0:23.9	very closely with me. He's a co-author on my book, Eat for Energy, and he and I work very,

0:36.9	especially on nutrition-related topics and metabolic health-related topics.
0:41.3	He's a whiz on these topics. He's one of the most knowledgeable people in the field of nutrition that I've ever known,
0:50.3	and one of the most skilled researchers and most scientifically literate people that I know in that realm.
0:57.6	And I'm very grateful to call him a close friend and very grateful that I get to work with him so closely
1:05.1	and that he's such a great help in the books that we write and the content we produce together.
1:10.0	So given that we've worked
1:12.8	together for, geez, how long have we worked together? Five or six years now? Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
1:20.1	So we've worked really closely together for a long period of time. We know each other's work and
1:27.4	minds very well at this point.
1:29.0	And we've had a very fruitful collaboration where we've had the opportunity to learn from each other,
1:34.8	co-develop ideas together and build literally chapters of books together.
1:40.5	And because I respect him so much, I wanted to invite him on the podcast yet again to talk
1:49.3	about some of his areas of expertise and to teach all of you guys some really cool novel
1:56.5	stuff.
1:57.5	I think and novel perspectives on topics that you certainly have heard before.
2:04.6	So we're going to continue that theme.
